before this time.

have been cleared and supervises competitors into course lanes. Best to have
check box in hand. Try to keep people from the same club and on same course
3 mins apart. (the notice N1 should do this)

Person
3 Watches to make sure people arrive on start line in order.
Watches to be sure they punch the start. Gives advice if neccessary. Uses
whistle if clock fails. If notice N2 is good, then this is a simple job.
No need to say 'step over the line' etc!

(Person 4 Team leader?).If
people have to mark up from mastermaps, because there are lots of entries,
then it can be busy for this person, who has to hand out maps and generally
supervise. It can be done by number 2 or 3.
